Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Reference 1601, showcasing one of the most recognizable configurations in Rolex history. This example combines stainless steel and yellow gold with a warm champagne-tone dial, delivering the traditional two-tone Datejust appearance that has remained timeless for generations. Importantly, this watch retains its original Rolex dial, original fluted bezel, and original Rolex bracelet, giving it the authentic vintage character collectors look for in an older Datejust. The original dial features applied gold-tone baton hour markers and matching hands, complemented by the Rolex coronet at 12 o’clock. At 3 o’clock is the signature Datejust date window beneath Rolex’s Cyclops magnification lens. The champagne/silver tone of the dial works especially well with the yellow-gold accents throughout the watch. Surrounding the dial is the original Rolex fluted bezel, one of the defining design elements of the Reference 1601. The case is paired with the original two-tone Rolex Jubilee bracelet, featuring stainless-steel outer links with contrasting yellow-gold center links. The Jubilee bracelet gives the watch the dressier, more traditional appearance closely associated with the Datejust. At approximately 36mm, the Reference 1601 has the classic Datejust proportions that made this model an enduring Rolex design.
